Hopefully, there's more footage to come from today's games:
Watch: Blues playmaker Ihaia West pounces on Chiefs mistake, blitzing defenders to score
-
From Stuff - "Blues openside flanker Blake Gibson was the only injury concern from the match but Umaga downplayed a shoulder knock that saw him leave the field."
Interesting that article above says Tamanivalu played right wing due to request of the ABs.

Our scrum looks real promising in pre-season. Against the Canes, our scrum was downright dominate, and the only time our scrum got beat was when we brought on our 4th string tighthead(Renata) later in the game. It seems it was the same in the Chiefs game.
That scrum by Mafileo and Manu that drove the Canes' scrum back several metres and then into the sideline made me cry.
If Mafileo and Prattley are considered our third string tighthead and loosehead, then our prop depth isn't looking too shabby.
